Pokemon Stadium 2 offers several mini-games of the Mario Party variety, featuring
several of your favorite Pokemon from all of the Gameboy games.

Note: If you have a Pokemon on the Gold or Silver in your Transfer
Pak, and it matches a species of Pokemon appearing in one of the mini-games,
its name will appear during the contest.

There are many ways to play the mini-games, but our favorite is the Champion
mode. Here, you can win coins for the casino that appears in Gold and Silver.
Just be the first to grab the tokens (from 5-9) and you will walk with the
prize! Descriptions of and tips for each mini-game can be found below:

Gutsy Golbat
Tap the A Button repeatedly to go up. Use the Control Stick to move from
side to side. The one with the most hearts wins. Your hearts will scatter
if you hit a Magnemite or get hit hard by an opponent.

Tip: This one's tough, but you can make up a lot of ground
at the end. Just as you're nearing the cave exit, bop each of the bats and
claim their hearts, then zip forward, pushing the righht side of the screen
until you touch the finish line.

Topsy Turvy
Use the Control Stick to strike the opponent. Knock your opponent out of
the ring five times to win. Press the A Button to use RAPID SPIN. Use this
move to knock your opponent out of the ring.

Tip: This is a fairly easy game against the computer, but can
be challenging against others. Stay near the center of the ring and only
move to the edges to bump someone else out.

Clear Cut Challenge
Press the A Button to cut falling logs at the white line. There are five
logs in all. Time your cuts--cutting above the white line will cost you points.
The one with the highest total score wins.

Tip: This challenge is all about timing. Take some time to
practice it before trying it out in a Mini-game Champion battle. If you can
cut the log directly on the white line, you will score a phat 20 points,
putting you a good deal ahead of the competition. If you can't get right
on the line, though, try to get under it. Cutting over the line will make
you lose points.

Furret's Frolic
Press the Control Pad to move into the grass. Release it to move back to
the center. Press the A Button to shoot the ball forward. Get the most points
to win.
Red Pokeball= 1 point
Blue and Red Pokeball= 2 points
Gold and Black Pokeball= 3 points
Purple and Red Pokeball= 5 points

Tip: This is one of the hardest mini-games in Stadium 2, mainly
because it is so confusing. The general goal is to shoot the Pokeballs into
your opponent's goals. The bigger the ball, the bigger the score. Concentrate
on the big balls late in the game--they are your quickest way to victory.

Barrier Ball
Use the Control Stick to move and hit the ball back. Press the A Button to
hit a smash. Earn a point for getting the ball in an opponent's court, and
lose a point when scored on. Get five points to win.

Tip: This is a pretty straightforward Breakout-style game.
To protect your own goal, keep your paddle centered in your alley, only moving
it to deflect a ball at the edges. Put spin on any balls you play to make
it extra difficult for opponents to judge.

Pichu's Power Plant
When an electrode pops out, press and hold the Control Pad in the same direction.
If the lamp is blue, repeatedly tap the B button. If the lamp is green, tap
the B Button. The first to fully charge wins.

Tip: The key to this mini-game is button-mashing. The faster
you press the corresponding button (A or B, depending on the color), the
quicker your meter will fill up. Switch quickly to a new lamp to charge yourself
to victory.

Rampage Rollout
Use the Control Pad to run around the track. The first to complete nine laps
wins. Press the A Button to leave a dust cloud. You can earn and save up
to three dust clouds per lap, depending on your rank.

Tip: Rampage Rollout requires proper use of whirlwinds in order
to succeed. The number of dust clouds you get depends on the place you are
whenever you cross the finish line each time. If you are in first place,
you get none, in second one, in third two and three if you're in last. On
the first couple laps, hang back and collect dust clouds, then use them in
the final laps. You won't be affected by your own tornadoes, so put a wall
of them up to make your enemies have to go around.

Streaming Stampede
Press the A Button and count the Pokemon visiting the studio. There are five
questions. Even if you don't get the right answer, you could still earn points
for getting close. Get the highest score to win.

Tip: This is as simple as it gets... count the Pokemon as they
walk by. The first couple rounds are easy, as you're simply picking Pokemon
out of the crowd, but the last round is crazy, as you'll have to tally the
streams of Pokemon that waddle past the camera. For the final grouping, it
is easier to count the Pokemon first, then enter the number in after they
pass.

Tumbling Togepi
Run downward, using the control stick to avoid flowers, boulders and logs.
Step on an arrow to speed up. You can jump over logs, but you will slow down.
The first one to the goal wins.

Tip: Tumpling Togepi can be tough to win, but it is very
straightforward. You'll need to hit nearly every speed arrow to win, and
avoid the obstacles. If you absoultely must hit something, the logs are the
best, as Togepi hops over and keeps going.

Delibird's Delivery
Fill the sack with up to five gifts using the Control Stick and carry it
up to the top. Highest score wins. Earn extra points for picking up the same
items in a row.
Diamond ring= 1000
Piano= 800
Snorlax= 350
Pikachu N64= 250
Gameboy= 100
Stuffed stocking= 50
Candy= 20

Tip: Go for the big money items and stuff your sack full before
heading back. You'll only get two to three trips this way, but they'll be
worth it. The diamond ring and piano are the best to go after, so scarf all
of those that you can manage.

Egg Emergency
Catch the falling eggs! Use the L and R Buttons to move from side to side.
Avoid the VOLTORB, or you'll lose some of your eggs. There are 100 eggs in
all. The player who catches the most eggs wins!

Tip: Watch the top of the screen to see where the next bunch
of eggs will be coming from, and avoid the Voltorbs. Not only do they pack
quite a shock, but knock some of your wonderful eggs right out of your basket,
which is sad, indeed.

Eager Eevee
When Aipom opens the lid, dash to the fruit with the A Button. Press the
B Button to fake a dash. The race is to run five times. Get the highest score
to win.
Green melon= 1000
Grapes= 500
Strawberries= 100 x number of berries
Gray fruit= penalty

Tip: This game is all timing. You'll want to be the first to
the prize... especially the green melon. Getting a lump of strawberries is
also good. Get there early so you won't have to share.
